SZA Scurrying In Crutches To Accept A Grammy Had Twitter In A Tizzy

Earlier in the evening, the “CTRL” singer posed on the red carpet seemingly without any assistance. With that, many were stunned that SZA, 31, came on stage on crutches during her acceptance speech.

The singer later told reporters that she needed the crutches because she “fell out of bed” before the show, PEOPLE reports. She attributed her injury to her life just being “random” and “funny.”

“It’s very funny because I fell out of bed right before it was time to like leave and get ready for this, like the day before,” she explained in the Grammys press room. “But I definitely- that’s the way it goes. Like everything awesome in my life has always come with something like very random but it just adds to the energy and I’m just grateful.”

Fans React To SZA Using Crutches At The Grammys

Unfortunately, SZA’s crutches became a running joke from trolls on Twitter who questioned if the singer needed them to walk or if she used them as an accessory for “sympathy” or as a way to skip out on performing.

“SZA ON CRUTCHES BUT STILL WEARING STILETTOS????? WHY DOES SHE LIE?” one tweeter posted.

“She’s literally walking,” another pointed out.

Dozens of reactions like this flooded Twitter with fans doubting that SZA needed crutches to walk while rocking sky-high heels.

SZA Shows Evidence Of Her Twisted Ankle

Despite some doubts about her injury, the singer posted clear evidence of her ankle being bandaged. SZA pointed out her “weak a** boney ankles,” making a joke out of her injury in a photo dump.

In a tweet, TDE music label President, Punch, also backed up SZA’s ankle injury story, pointing to how inspiring she was to him, powering through her injury to accept her Grammy Award with Doja Cat.
